Playing Nice: Alabama

For better or worse, there are still games to be played this football season and the Frank Wilson-led Tigers of LSU are off to Tuscaloosa to take on the #4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. While I don’t much care for Alabama, I do very much enjoy talking to my very good friend Brent Taylor from […]

ATVS: Wi$h Li$t

Who is on your, as the great Taylor Swift wrote, Wi$h Li$t to be the next head coach at LSU? Dee It’s Kiffin’s to turn down as far as I’m concerned. I’ve always gotten the vibe that he genuinely wants to be at LSU one day. He’s done a good job at Ole Miss (it […]

What Was And What Should Never Be

The Brian Kelly hire at LSU was a disaster. It was never going to work, and the results spoke for themselves. The zenith of which happened Saturday night, when the only reason “Fire Kelly” chants weren’t totally pervasive was because so many LSU fans vacated the stadium over the course of the second half ass […]

Postgame Thoughts: Texas A&M 49, LSU 25

No matter how this 2025 season finishes up, you can’t say that this LSU team isn’t historic. If losing to Vanderbilt for the first time since 1990 last week wasn’t bad enough, LSU followed that up with its first home defeat to Texas A&M since 1994. Much like last year’s game, a halftime lead for […]

He Harolded Kelly’s Beginning…He Harolds His End

I think we remember eras by players. Unless a coach is at a spot for a long period of time, you tend to associate them with the players who embodied their achievements and/or failures. Who doesn’t tie Ed Orgeron and Joe Burrow at the hip? Even despite everything that came after. I think that, when […]

LSU’s season isn’t over, but with two conference losses there is no more room for error. So of course, with their backs against the wall LSU will play host to the undefeated, #3 ranked Aggies. To get us ready for LSU’s do or die game is our pal Rob Beherns of Good Bull Hunting. 1. […]
